Thanks to Robert Brewer, who put my post on reviewing poetry books up at Writer’s Digest today – check it out!

I hope it encourages you to write about one of your favorite poetry books for one of your favorite journals.
And since I didn’t get my weird shot today (see previous post), I slept in instead and will encourage you all to check out Auburn Days this Sunday, where I’ll be reading with a bunch of local city Poet Laureates at 2 PM and then serving on a panel called “What to Poet Laureates Actually Do?” at 2:30. Check out the entire schedule here.
Auburn is a ways out for us but Auburn Days are always a curious amount of fun. I love meeting the people there and always have a good time reading. I hope to see some of you there!
